Keep it up.

The metalmeet site is a wonderful forum. I used to hangout there as well. Great group of guys.

Thanks Scott.

The metalshaping guys on the various forums are great.
They have no problem with sharing their knowledge.

Thanks Roger.

Maybe I'll do a little write up on it in a new thread.
Is there a particular forum a thread like that should go into?

Thanks Rick.

The skills are not 100%. I've got all kinds of lumps and bumps you can't see from my selective camera angles.

They say the first 90% takes 10% of the time.
The last 10% is gonna be killer to get everything smoothed out and metal finished.
